Research, Restoration, & Citizen Science

The Blue Ridge Mountains host one of the richest diversities in the world. By supporting and conducting research, restoration, and citizen science projects, Blue Ridge Discovery Center aims to take an active role in shedding light on the inner workings of our ecosystems. These valuable findings focus attention on a region that has been historically underserved.
